BHUT (BIH) JOLOKIA
Ghost Pepper

ROF 2004
Bhut or Bih Jolokia, botanically known as Capsicum chinense jacquin, is extensively grown in the northeastern region of India, predominatly in the states of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur. It is also known by other names such as Ghost pepper, Bih jolokia, Borbih jolokia, Naga jolokia, Nagahari, Naga Morich and Raja mirchi to name a few. We can only speculate why the Assamese call it the "Ghost Pepper", Bhut Jolokia.

Recently, the Bhut Jolokia chili pepper was officially recorded in the Guiness Book of World Records as Worlds Hottest Pepper lab tested at 1,001,304 Scoville Heat Units.

Dried, crushed and shipped in double sealed 40 gram packs of crushed 100% Bhut jolokia. More than 1200 grams of fresh Bhut jolokia pepper are required to make just 100 grams of dried Bhut jolokia.
